Big news! Today we published the first-ever in-depth study of wolf ambushing behavior! By identifying 748 spots where wolves waited-in-ambush for beavers, we show how wolf choose ambushing locations that seem almost perfect for catching beavers. Beavers primarily detect and avoid predators on land by using their noses! They have an excellent sense of smell. However, beavers have beady little eyes and poor vision. Because of this, beavers cannot see motionless predators. The amusing, almost comic

That means wolves are very likely ‘fishing' in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and beyond each and every year! We first learned of wolves hunting fish (spawning suckers) in 2017 when two wolves in the Bowman Bay Pack ‘fished’. We thought that was pretty neat and seemed like a very unique behavio
